I have bad acne breakouts,but i have very oily skin so what is best to get rid of the acne?

Answer 1

Although topical treatments can assist in acne help they will not cure your acne! Neither will antibiotics (don't get me wrong they might take it away for the short term but it will return). Acne is result of a underlying hormonal imbalances, which could have been created by a number of factors including contraceptives, I got ance after going on the contraceptive jag (depo provera). People who say that diet has nothing to do with acne have never suffered acne. It wont cause acne it will only trigger outbreaks in people who are already prone. This is because with a hormonal imbalance it throughs the whole body outta whack including overworking the liver and kidneys therefore the body expels the toxins through the skin (the largest filtration organ in the body). You need to detox,encourage liver function, and balance hormones. The detox here are some methods, Herbal supplements
milk thistle
burdock root
there are lots more i will post some links at the end of this
zinc not a herb but essential for good skin health.
Vitamin E and A also.
Colonics will help detox and encourage liver function.
balancing hormones if you dont have a local endocrinoligist (hormone specialist) you can get hormone tests sent over the internet just saliva you send them back to the labs they give you the results.
Also too much of any hormone is bad in some cases people find that progesterone helps their skin in other it hinders its the same with estrogen.
One hormone you can try and reduce naturally however is testosterone. Try saw palmetto its a herb and has faired the best in clinical trials it inhibits the conversion of testosterone into an androgenic form of testosterone which makes the oil glands work in overdrive.
Accutane works by inhibiting oil production by putting a chemical similiar to Vitamin A in the body however as it is such high levels and chemical that is where the side effects come in.
However you can try doing this naturally in your diet beta-carotene naturally converts into vitamin A in the body so will basically have the same effect and you can consume as much as you want (i'm not talkin about vitamins i mean through food). Carrots are very high in beta-carotene so are excellent try this if you have a juicer, juice 6-8 carrots a day and drink them (their better consumed juiced as you can receive about 70% more nutritional value) in a couple of weeks with a detoxification program you should start to see dramatic results. (length of time it would take varies from person to person). heres some more fruit and veg rich in beta carotene and there values

Amount Food Item Beta Carotene (mg)
1/2 cup Broccoli-Boiled-Drained 645.84
1/2 cup Carrots-Slices-Frozen-Boiled-D... 6,279.46

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I would recommend using Clearasil Ultra Clear Face Wash or Scrub. I have used it for months and it helped my oily skin. Don't forget to (if you go to school or just around the house) check up on your skin, if it is oily, bring some Clearasil breakout wet pads with you to school and dab on the oily parts, or all over, just to prevent you skin from breaking out any further. And, if you have long hair, bangs, or hair that covers some of your face, it can also put more oils on your skin and if you use a lot of conditioner in your hair, then use just shampoo, then your face will not become as oily when your face is covered w/ hair. i hope your oily skin and breakouts will disappear soon! Best of luck!

Answer 5

you also need to make sure that you dont touch your face and neck and that your hair is not in your face. hair also has oils. use tea tree shampoo and conditioner to dry up the oil glands on your head. use unscented soaps and detergents; use only neutregena soap for acne to help dry up the oil glands. also your diet plays a factor as well, like soda, chips and even some health stuff can cause breakouts. keep a journal of what you eat and document whether you break out after eating that item. never pick or pop acne; you will have very bad scars from them

Answer 6

Well, you should shower every day because you do not want that much oil. Also you can buy some of those lotions that help to get rid of acne

Answer 7

I would recommend talking to a dermatologist about this. Start with your primary care physician if your insurance plan requires you to do so.
